i have suggested this before - and dont mind repeating myself. The best way to do this is conduct a big session in a star hotel with a fat registration fee, limited participants and concentrate on server setup - slipping in desktop stuff as an 'afterthought'. If you need a banner under which to hold this, NRC-FOSS is there - also to bear the expense. Any profit made would be available for LUG activities in the NRC-FOSS account. I am sure the LUG has sufficient big names to make the session attractive.
I love that. Lay the marketing fat thick. For all we know it might actually work. And since we have already tried out the least cost route many times, we might as well try out the most cost route.
so what syllabus do we have? Two aspects are needed - 1. server setup using linux (which is our USP) and 2. Desktop services that must be there for SME migration.
for no. 1:
Firewall server with multi isp balancing Mail server Quotas for disk space and bandwidth Monitoring bandwidth usage Security Clustering and farms Fileservers - Samba Asterix, VPN, VOIP
for no. 2:
Sound Printing FA ERP, CRM, etc Multimedia and graphics Wine?
Maybe if there is enough interest we could develop this syllabus on the wiki
